The new Assistant Police Chief in Bloomington is Lieutenant Ken Bays. Bays has been named temporary assistant Chief of Administration in the wake of the self requested demotion of Assistant Chief Bob Wall. Wall had problems related to an incident in which he left the scene of an accident and a subsequent investigation found to be flawed. The Department says Bays will serve two to four months at this point starting August 5th. He has been with the Bloomington department since January of 1998. He currently commands the street crimes division.
